[05:24] {bruce} morning rt
[05:25] {Threei} morning bruce
[05:25] {bruce} vadster
[05:26] {bruce} more must have games for kids
[05:26] {bruce} that'll be sure winner
[05:29] {Threei} I guess we know now why DIVX continued climbing last few days
[05:39] {bruce} lol
[05:39] {bruce} setting up my "if I were smarter chart this am vad
[05:42] {Threei} just don't tell me I need to re-read that book please
[05:43] {Threei} I siccessfully forget everything I wrote in 5 min after finishing it... very convinient
[05:43] {bruce} lol
[05:43] {bruce} my first entry
[05:43] {bruce} If I were smarter I'd stop trading"
[05:43] {Threei} I'll have to disagree
[05:44] {bruce} lol
[05:44] {bruce} not making that entry
[05:44] {Threei} If I were smarter I'd stop losing is my version :)
[05:44] {Threei} on serious note, do you see the usefulness of what you read?
[05:44] {bruce} going to set up trade log to for individual trades
[05:44] {bruce} already do the daily results type tracking
[05:45] {bruce} its a good summary of key points vad
[05:45] {Threei} oh, ity's more than summary
[05:46] {bruce} might be if I can figure out which trades work and which don't better I can improve results
[05:46] {Threei} it's the logic behind building your trading approach which allows you to align all the elements of it
[05:46] {bruce} I could really realtae to bo yoder
[05:47] {bruce} death by a thousand cuts
[05:47] {bruce} but hat only happened to him for a month
[05:47] {bruce} so far this month- I have exactly 20 wins
[05:48] {bruce} 20 losses
[05:48] {bruce} \and they are within 50 c of each other on average
[05:48] {Threei} how doesa it relate to last month?
[05:48] {bruce} not exactly winning formula\
[05:48] {Threei} is it improvement or not?
[05:48] {bruce} no change - those are typical vad
[05:49] {bruce} with small variation
[05:49] {bruce} win/ loss close together
[05:49] {Threei} you mean last month had the same ratio?
[05:49] {Threei} then no changes were incorporated, and you continue doing same thing
[05:49] {Threei} which hasn't proved to be successful
[05:50] {Threei} but you have all the recipes for analisys within those results
[05:51] {Threei} can you pipoint the difference between winners and losers?
[05:51] {Threei} what kind of trades were more of a winners and what more of losers?
[05:52] {bruce} win lose is worse than last month
[05:52] {Threei} nail it, and you know what to expand on and what to cut on
[05:52] {bruce} last month 101 wins and 84 losses
[05:52] {bruce} but lost overall\
[05:52] {Threei} bruce... without those analysis you just roll a dice
[05:52] {bruce} took a min to calculate cause I track weekly
[05:53] {Threei} with such win/loss ratio I would sure have had a profitable month
[05:53] {bruce} I do a lot of diferent kinds of trades
[05:54] {Threei} and?
[05:54] {Threei} among those some are prone to work better than others
[05:55] {Threei} you need to start weeding out process
[05:57] {bruce} I don't have data on diferent trades types vad
[05:58] {bruce} will start to collect
[05:58] {bruce} for example
[05:58] {bruce} a dino type reversal will obviousl y be very dif than a vad style break
[05:58] {bruce} going to strat tracking trades by type to see what works\
[05:59] {bruce} cant keep doing what I ma thats for sure
[05:59] {dptl} good morning all

[07:33] {Threei} and here comes the crown:
[07:33] {Threei} QATARI OIL MINISTER: OPEC CAN NOT INCREASE SUPPLY, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DEMAND TO MEET IT
[07:34] {Threei} me so confused

[07:34] {dino} nsit bstop to .14
[07:34] {Threei} buyers say they have low inventory and big demand... suppliers say we won't supply more because tyou don't demand it...

[07:42] {Threei} US ENERGY SEC BODMAN: US ECONOMY RESILIENCE TO HIGH OIL PRICES HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARY
[07:43] {Threei} what is it, message to OPEC "we can take what you can dish out"?
[07:43] {bruce} stop moved to .74 on balance
[07:43] {Threei} .69 for me
[07:44] {bruce} k - maybe setting it too tight
[07:44] {Threei} not necessary
[07:44] {Threei} both are valid
[07:44] {bruce} als always had a driver vad
[07:44] {Threei} it's more of personal choice
[07:45] {bruce} k - I like to keep them prety tight
[07:45] {bruce} need to get bigger moves though
[07:46] {bruce} figured that out from your comments this am
[07:46] {Threei} don't rush to conclusions until you run the whole process of troublesahooting
[07:46] {Threei} it's not always that obvious
[07:47] {bruce} k
[07:47] {Threei} build youir next step when you are done with whole book, I have suspicion you start changing things as you go
[07:48] {bruce} me?
[07:48] {bruce} change things as I go?
[07:48] {Threei} 'If I were smarter" method is in psychology part, not in troubleshooting part
[07:48] {bruce} sheesh
[07:48] {bruce} ofcourse I do
[07:49] {bruce} just scanned for stuff to use right away
[07:49] {Threei} US ENERGY SEC BODMAN: US ECONOMY RESILIENCE TO HIGH OIL PRICES HAS BEEN EXTRAORDINARY - WIRE HEADLINE
[07:49] {Threei} - says too early to tell oil price's economic impact
[07:50] {dino} nafc hl s .39, stop .68
[07:53] {bruce} thanks dino
[07:54] {bruce} appreciate stop post with entry
[07:56] {dino} np, i'll try to remember
[07:57] {bruce} I would have set about .57
[07:57] {bruce} and thats probably not enough
[07:58] {dino} rinses w/kill you
[07:58] {bruce} iNED TO LEARN TO GET COMFORTABLE W WIDER STOPS W YOUR STYLE OF TRADES
[07:59] {bruce} oopp
[07:59] {bruce} sorry about caps
[07:59] {dino} i understand, problem w/my type is they get gappy
[07:59] {bruce} can see that
[07:59] {bruce} smaller shares
[07:59] {dino} yes
[07:59] {bruce} bigger stops
[08:00] {bruce} and big moves so wins justify risk
[08:01] {dino} i'll crack you up. a year ago my standard size was 1,000, since i changed to 500 and widened stop, i do much better
[08:02] {bruce} k
[08:02] {bruce} would imagine you had some pretty nasty drawdowns
[08:02] {dino} indeed, havard education i call it
[08:03] {dino} then i realized if i would stop being stupid, i could make some money
[08:04] {bruce} how did you realize larger stops were oing to work for you?
[08:05] {dino} reviewed my trades, lots more would've worked if i could've held on. so wider and smaller was the key. not to mention, much more relaxing way to trade
[08:06] {Threei} bruce... what dino descrobes is exactly the process of troubleshooting in the book you keep in hands
[08:06] {Threei} let me reiterate the idea of reading it thoroughly before you start apply changes
[08:07] {bruce} thanks dino
[08:07] {bruce} will do vad
[08:08] {dino} anytime, good luck
[08:13] {bruce} adjust nafc stop here dino?
[08:15] {dino} yes to b/e
[08:15] {bruce} k -that was my thought
[08:15] {bruce} we have 1 to 1 here
[08:15] {dino} or if scalping, book it
[08:16] {dino} if it gets to .00, bring stop to 1:1 and just see what happens
[08:17] {dino} to .15 stop now imo
[08:17] {dino} magoo says i'm stingy
[08:19] {dino} cov. ave .13, +.26, on that jump
[08:19] {dino} we'll key an eye on it
[08:19] {dino} brb
[08:21] {dino} rimm hod
[08:24] {Threei} remember my grim predictions for LDK?
[08:25] {Threei} have a look at it
[08:25] {Chaeron} messy
[08:28] {dino} wow
[08:30] {Roman} ESLR high
[08:32] {esemde} have a great rest of the day all.... see ya tomorrow
[08:33] {bruce} bye ses
[08:33] {bruce} ese
[08:33] {dino} cya ese
[08:33] {Threei} take care ese
[08:36] {dino} twgp spike
[08:38] {Threei} RIMM bounce candidate
[08:41] {dino} may have already missed rimm, pretty big move
[08:41] {Threei} under 109 would be nice if we get there
[08:41] {Threei} with its volatility there are plenty of bouncesa to scalp
[08:42] {dino} y
[08:44] {Threei} CLWR takeover rumors
[08:49] {bruce} rimm hit 109 vad
[08:50] {Threei} if grabbed RIMM under 109, take scalp here
[08:51] {bruce} Ididn't get it
[08:51] {bruce} no stop defiend
[08:51] {bruce} what would you have used vad?
[08:51] {bruce} prb need 50 c would think
[08:52] {Threei} it's different kind of play
[08:52] {Threei} following NQ rather than trading on its own merits
[08:53] {Threei} it hit 108.91, paused,
[08:53] {Threei} got back to 109, hesitated a little and broke it
[08:53] {Threei} that's the entry unless NQ drops hard
[08:53] {Threei} stop is NQ continuing down and ROMM making new low
[08:53] {Threei} RIMM
[08:53] {bruce} k
[08:54] {Threei} so in practicae it would look like this:
[08:54] {bruce} so using time and sales to judge momentum
[08:54] {Threei} NQ reverses, RIMM goes with it, fine,
[08:54] {bruce} and exit if it stalls while watching nq
[08:54] {Threei} NQ reverses RIMM makes new low, still holding,
[08:54] {Threei} since it's just its natuarl volatility
[08:54] {bruce} \k
[08:55] {Threei} and it's likely to bounce quickly if NQ shows strength
[08:55] {bruce} what do you call a play like that?
[08:55] {dino} chaos
[08:55] {Threei} playing the follower
[08:55] {dino} :)
[08:55] {Threei} lol
[08:55] {Threei} snake principle
[08:55] {Threei} watch where head goes to see where the tail is going to be
[08:56] {bruce} lol
[08:56] {bruce} think I will mostly avoid those plays for now
[08:56] {bruce} not much success with them
[08:57] {Threei} they can be very rewarding but they require lightening reflexes and good chunk of experience
[08:58] {bruce} they look inviting
[08:58] {bruce} quick movews
[08:58] {Threei} this is rather videogame kind of participation than normal technical trading
[08:58] {Threei} if you are good at Halo/Doom kind, shooting enemies left and right quickly...
[08:59] {bruce} yes - I know some people thaqt trade that way
[08:59] {bruce} big money
[08:59] {bruce} but takes lots of skill
[08:59] {Threei} big money usually doeas

[12:04] {bruce} stopped nvda
[12:11] {dino} same here vad, the gap open and continue up are my toughest
[12:11] {Threei} yeah
[12:11] {Threei} and you know wnhat the most amazing thing is?
[12:11] {dino} chaos is moneymaker day
[12:11] {Threei} I make much more on big down days than I do on big up - yet most of plays are LONG
[12:12] {dino} same, cause i think capits on downs, euphoria on ups
[12:12] {dino} i'm pretty much a contrarian
[12:12] {Threei} remember I said yesterday, 11 trades on RIMM, 9 wins 2 stops?
[12:12] {dino} y
[12:12] {Threei} those 2 stops were both shorts
[12:12] {dino} lol
[12:12] {Threei} 9 wins were all longs
[12:12] {Threei} and that was big down day
[12:13] {dino} i was 3 for 4 on it, all long
[12:14] {Threei} whatever... I long as grew out of attempts to disect everything to every why... I accept things as they are and exploit them best I can even if I have no clue why they are what they are :)
[12:15] {Threei} there are enough academics to write tons of books explaining me why it's impossible to make money trading... I'll leave explanations to them
[12:16] {Threei} so far, no single losing day in Nov
[12:17] {dino} same, 2 down in oct
[12:18] {Threei} lemme look
[12:18] {dino} thats the key, no downs
[12:18] {Threei} you outdid me
[12:18] {Threei} 4 down days in Oct
[12:18] {Threei} but the worst of them is -180
[12:19] {dino} although, i am wrong, was down 85$ on nov 2
[12:19] {Threei} 3 others are less then 100 in minus
[12:19] {Threei} and I remember the -180 one - I started it with -700 thanks to my cat
[12:19] {dino} again, thats the key, took me awhile to realize a down cannot be bigger than an up
[12:19] {Threei} and spent a day digging out of a hole :)
[12:20] {bruce} geesh - so far 3 wins 4 loses this month
[12:21] {Threei} frikin thing stepped on a sound wire connecting main monitor with comouter and disconnected it,
[12:21] {Threei} I sent buy order for something evry volatile
[12:21] {Threei} no sound of order being filled,
[12:21] {Threei} I think I miss it,
[12:21] {Threei} switch to other stocks,
[12:22] {dino} i actually have alot of $200-400 days but not many down days, thats the difference
[12:22] {Threei} when I notice my P/L changes even though it shouldn't when I have no position, I am down 700 bucks lol
[12:22] {bruce} that was tough vad - down by accident
[12:22] {Threei} s**t happens
[12:24] {Threei} XMSR
[12:24] {Threei} SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE SIRI MERGER
[12:24] {Threei} I just shrug and start working on it, bruce :)
[12:24] {Threei} it is what it is
[12:26] {dino} exactly
[12:27] {dino} realistically, nothing matters its how you react
[12:27] {dino} asei stop to .65
[12:27] {Threei} yeah... the day it's proven that crying helps profiting from market I will learn to cry
[12:27] {dino} call me that day
[12:28] {Threei} if I may... one book I regard highly on this
[12:29] {Threei} 7 habits of the most effective people
[12:29] {dino} stopped asei +.30
[12:29] {Threei} there are things fully and totally out of our control
[12:29] {dino} 6/6 but all small hits, although just shy of daily
[12:29] {Threei} hurricanes... earthquakes... market moves
[12:30] {Threei} learn to form right mental attitude to deal with those
[12:30] {Threei} There are things that are in our immediate control
[12:30] {Threei} learn to manage them
[12:31] {Threei} and there are things that can be somewhat controlled through intermediary
[12:31] {Threei} by influencing other people
[12:31] {Threei} learn what factors matter and how to manage them
[12:32] {Threei} I hope esteemed Cohen will forgive me for quick and dirty overview
[12:32] {dino} get "millionaire traders", hits close to home on a couple of those traders
[12:32] {Threei} I can't read trading books anymore dino
[12:33] {dino} i understand, screws you up
[12:33] {Threei} mental block I guess, for the last 3 years at least
[12:33] {Threei} probably more
[12:33] {dino} first half of way of the turtles was pretty good too
[12:34] {Threei} Stephen King is fine with me
[12:35] {dino} lol
[12:35] {dino} best part of "trading in the zone" for me was; "anything can happen"
[12:35] {Threei} that one is very good
[12:36] {Threei} Zen in the market is very short and good
[12:37] {dino} rimm hod
[12:41] {Threei} scalped of 112
[12:42] {dino} was thinking of it, but chickened out
[12:45] {Threei} +81 NQ
[12:46] {Threei} a bit unreal
[12:48] {Threei} this second time I chickened out
[12:48] {Threei} so you must have gottent it
[12:49] {dino} no. pretty much done for the day
[12:49] {dino} gj tho
[12:50] {dino} will look at it tomorrow
[12:50] {dino} 10 pts up, may pull back
[12:51] {bruce} calling it a day folks

[05:29] {Threei} I guess we know now why DIVX continued climbing last few days
[05:39] {bruce} lol
[05:39] {bruce} setting up my "if I were smarter chart this am vad
[05:42] {Threei} just don't tell me I need to re-read that book please
[05:43] {Threei} I siccessfully forget everything I wrote in 5 min after finishing it... very convinient
[05:43] {bruce} lol
[05:43] {bruce} my first entry
[05:43] {bruce} If I were smarter I'd stop trading"
[05:43] {Threei} I'll have to disagree
[05:44] {bruce} lol
[05:44] {bruce} not making that entry
[05:44] {Threei} If I were smarter I'd stop losing is my version :)
[05:44] {Threei} on serious note, do you see the usefulness of what you read?
[05:44] {bruce} going to set up trade log to for individual trades
[05:44] {bruce} already do the daily results type tracking
[05:45] {bruce} its a good summary of key points vad
[05:45] {Threei} oh, ity's more than summary
[05:46] {bruce} might be if I can figure out which trades work and which don't better I can improve results
[05:46] {Threei} it's the logic behind building your trading approach which allows you to align all the elements of it
[05:46] {bruce} I could really realtae to bo yoder
[05:47] {bruce} death by a thousand cuts
[05:47] {bruce} but hat only happened to him for a month
[05:47] {bruce} so far this month- I have exactly 20 wins
[05:48] {bruce} 20 losses
[05:48] {bruce} \and they are within 50 c of each other on average
[05:48] {Threei} how doesa it relate to last month?
[05:48] {bruce} not exactly winning formula\
[05:48] {Threei} is it improvement or not?
[05:48] {bruce} no change - those are typical vad
[05:49] {bruce} with small variation
[05:49] {bruce} win/ loss close together
[05:49] {Threei} you mean last month had the same ratio?
[05:49] {Threei} then no changes were incorporated, and you continue doing same thing
[05:49] {Threei} which hasn't proved to be successful
[05:50] {Threei} but you have all the recipes for analisys within those results
[05:51] {Threei} can you pipoint the difference between winners and losers?
[05:51] {Threei} what kind of trades were more of a winners and what more of losers?
[05:52] {bruce} win lose is worse than last month
[05:52] {Threei} nail it, and you know what to expand on and what to cut on
[05:52] {bruce} last month 101 wins and 84 losses
[05:52] {bruce} but lost overall\
[05:52] {Threei} bruce... without those analysis you just roll a dice
[05:52] {bruce} took a min to calculate cause I track weekly
[05:53] {Threei} with such win/loss ratio I would sure have had a profitable month
[05:53] {bruce} I do a lot of diferent kinds of trades
[05:54] {Threei} and?
[05:54] {Threei} among those some are prone to work better than others
[05:55] {Threei} you need to start weeding out process
[05:57] {bruce} I don't have data on diferent trades types vad
[05:58] {bruce} will start to collect
[05:58] {bruce} for example
[05:58] {bruce} a dino type reversal will obviousl y be very dif than a vad style break
[05:58] {bruce} going to strat tracking trades by type to see what works\
[05:59] {bruce} cant keep doing what I ma thats for sure
[05:59] {dptl} good morning all

[06:11] {Threei} - a Think Equity analyst said today that this chatter emerged on Thursday and may explain some of the turnabout in prices of solar stocks.

[07:43] {bruce} stop moved to .74 on balance
[07:43] {Threei} .69 for me
[07:44] {bruce} k - maybe setting it too tight
[07:44] {Threei} not necessary
[07:44] {Threei} both are valid
[07:44] {bruce} als always had a driver vad
[07:44] {Threei} it's more of personal choice
[07:45] {bruce} k - I like to keep them prety tight
[07:45] {bruce} need to get bigger moves though
[07:46] {bruce} figured that out from your comments this am
[07:46] {Threei} don't rush to conclusions until you run the whole process of troublesahooting
[07:46] {Threei} it's not always that obvious
[07:47] {bruce} k
[07:47] {Threei} build youir next step when you are done with whole book, I have suspicion you start changing things as you go
[07:48] {bruce} me?
[07:48] {bruce} change things as I go?
[07:48] {Threei} 'If I were smarter" method is in psychology part, not in troubleshooting part
[07:48] {bruce} sheesh
[07:48] {bruce} ofcourse I do

[07:53] {bruce} thanks dino
[07:54] {bruce} appreciate stop post with entry
[07:56] {dino} np, i'll try to remember
[07:57] {bruce} I would have set about .57
[07:57] {bruce} and thats probably not enough
[07:58] {dino} rinses w/kill you
[07:58] {bruce} iNED TO LEARN TO GET COMFORTABLE W WIDER STOPS W YOUR STYLE OF TRADES
[07:59] {bruce} oopp
[07:59] {bruce} sorry about caps
[07:59] {dino} i understand, problem w/my type is they get gappy
[07:59] {bruce} can see that
[07:59] {bruce} smaller shares
[07:59] {dino} yes
[07:59] {bruce} bigger stops
[08:00] {bruce} and big moves so wins justify risk
[08:01] {dino} i'll crack you up. a year ago my standard size was 1,000, since i changed to 500 and widened stop, i do much better
[08:02] {bruce} k
[08:02] {bruce} would imagine you had some pretty nasty drawdowns
[08:02] {dino} indeed, havard education i call it
[08:03] {dino} then i realized if i would stop being stupid, i could make some money
[08:04] {bruce} how did you realize larger stops were oing to work for you?
[08:05] {dino} reviewed my trades, lots more would've worked if i could've held on. so wider and smaller was the key. not to mention, much more relaxing way to trade
[08:06] {Threei} bruce... what dino descrobes is exactly the process of troubleshooting in the book you keep in hands
[08:06] {Threei} let me reiterate the idea of reading it thoroughly before you start apply changes
[08:07] {bruce} thanks dino
[08:07] {bruce} will do vad
[08:08] {dino} anytime, good luck
[08:13] {bruce} adjust nafc stop here dino?
[08:15] {dino} yes to b/e
[08:15] {bruce} k -that was my thought
[08:15] {bruce} we have 1 to 1 here
[08:15] {dino} or if scalping, book it
[08:16] {dino} if it gets to .00, bring stop to 1:1 and just see what happens
[08:17] {dino} to .15 stop now imo
[08:17] {dino} magoo says i'm stingy
[08:19] {dino} cov. ave .13, +.26, on that jump

[08:38] {Threei} RIMM bounce candidate
[08:41] {dino} may have already missed rimm, pretty big move
[08:41] {Threei} under 109 would be nice if we get there
[08:41] {Threei} with its volatility there are plenty of bouncesa to scalp
[08:42] {dino} y
[08:44] {Threei} CLWR takeover rumors
[08:49] {bruce} rimm hit 109 vad
[08:50] {Threei} if grabbed RIMM under 109, take scalp here
[08:51] {bruce} Ididn't get it
[08:51] {bruce} no stop defiend
[08:51] {bruce} what would you have used vad?
[08:51] {bruce} prb need 50 c would think
[08:52] {Threei} it's different kind of play
[08:52] {Threei} following NQ rather than trading on its own merits
[08:53] {Threei} it hit 108.91, paused,
[08:53] {Threei} got back to 109, hesitated a little and broke it
[08:53] {Threei} that's the entry unless NQ drops hard
[08:53] {Threei} stop is NQ continuing down and ROMM making new low
[08:53] {Threei} RIMM
[08:53] {bruce} k
[08:54] {Threei} so in practicae it would look like this:
[08:54] {bruce} so using time and sales to judge momentum
[08:54] {Threei} NQ reverses, RIMM goes with it, fine,
[08:54] {bruce} and exit if it stalls while watching nq
[08:54] {Threei} NQ reverses RIMM makes new low, still holding,
[08:54] {Threei} since it's just its natuarl volatility
[08:54] {bruce} \k
[08:55] {Threei} and it's likely to bounce quickly if NQ shows strength
[08:55] {bruce} what do you call a play like that?
[08:55] {dino} chaos
[08:55] {Threei} playing the follower
[08:55] {dino} :)
[08:55] {Threei} lol
[08:55] {Threei} snake principle
[08:55] {Threei} watch where head goes to see where the tail is going to be
[08:56] {bruce} lol
[08:56] {bruce} think I will mostly avoid those plays for now
[08:56] {bruce} not much success with them
[08:57] {Threei} they can be very rewarding but they require lightening reflexes and good chunk of experience
[08:58] {bruce} they look inviting
[08:58] {bruce} quick movews
[08:58] {Threei} this is rather videogame kind of participation than normal technical trading
[08:58] {Threei} if you are good at Halo/Doom kind, shooting enemies left and right quickly...
[08:59] {bruce} yes - I know some people thaqt trade that way
[08:59] {bruce} big money

[12:04] {Threei} as usual, this is the toughest kind of days to find a play
[12:04] {bruce} stopped nvda
[12:11] {dino} same here vad, the gap open and continue up are my toughest
[12:11] {Threei} yeah
[12:11] {Threei} and you know wnhat the most amazing thing is?
[12:11] {dino} chaos is moneymaker day
[12:11] {Threei} I make much more on big down days than I do on big up - yet most of plays are LONG
[12:12] {dino} same, cause i think capits on downs, euphoria on ups
[12:12] {dino} i'm pretty much a contrarian
[12:12] {Threei} remember I said yesterday, 11 trades on RIMM, 9 wins 2 stops?
[12:12] {dino} y
[12:12] {Threei} those 2 stops were both shorts
[12:12] {dino} lol
[12:12] {Threei} 9 wins were all longs
[12:12] {Threei} and that was big down day
[12:13] {dino} i was 3 for 4 on it, all long
[12:14] {Threei} whatever... I long as grew out of attempts to disect everything to every why... I accept things as they are and exploit them best I can even if I have no clue why they are what they are :)
[12:15] {Threei} there are enough academics to write tons of books explaining me why it's impossible to make money trading... I'll leave explanations to them
[12:16] {Threei} so far, no single losing day in Nov
[12:17] {dino} same, 2 down in oct
[12:18] {Threei} lemme look
[12:18] {dino} thats the key, no downs
[12:18] {Threei} you outdid me
[12:18] {Threei} 4 down days in Oct
[12:18] {Threei} but the worst of them is -180
[12:19] {dino} although, i am wrong, was down 85$ on nov 2
[12:19] {Threei} 3 others are less then 100 in minus
[12:19] {Threei} and I remember the -180 one - I started it with -700 thanks to my cat
[12:19] {dino} again, thats the key, took me awhile to realize a down cannot be bigger than an up
[12:19] {Threei} and spent a day digging out of a hole :)
[12:20] {bruce} geesh - so far 3 wins 4 loses this month
[12:21] {Threei} frikin thing stepped on a sound wire connecting main monitor with comouter and disconnected it,
[12:21] {Threei} I sent buy order for something evry volatile
[12:21] {Threei} no sound of order being filled,
[12:21] {Threei} I think I miss it,
[12:21] {Threei} switch to other stocks,
[12:22] {dino} i actually have alot of $200-400 days but not many down days, thats the difference
[12:22] {Threei} when I notice my P/L changes even though it shouldn't when I have no position, I am down 700 bucks lol
[12:22] {bruce} that was tough vad - down by accident
[12:22] {Threei} s**t happens
[12:24] {Threei} XMSR
[12:24] {Threei} SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE SIRI MERGER
[12:24] {Threei} I just shrug and start working on it, bruce :)
[12:24] {Threei} it is what it is
[12:26] {dino} exactly
[12:27] {dino} realistically, nothing matters its how you react
[12:27] {dino} asei stop to .65
[12:27] {Threei} yeah... the day it's proven that crying helps profiting from market I will learn to cry
[12:27] {dino} call me that day
[12:28] {Threei} if I may... one book I regard highly on this
[12:29] {Threei} 7 habits of the most effective people
[12:29] {dino} stopped asei +.30
[12:29] {Threei} there are things fully and totally out of our control
[12:29] {dino} 6/6 but all small hits, although just shy of daily
[12:29] {Threei} hurricanes... earthquakes... market moves
[12:30] {Threei} learn to form right mental attitude to deal with those
[12:30] {Threei} There are things that are in our immediate control
[12:30] {Threei} learn to manage them
[12:31] {Threei} and there are things that can be somewhat controlled through intermediary
[12:31] {Threei} by influencing other people
[12:31] {Threei} learn what factors matter and how to manage them
[12:32] {Threei} I hope esteemed Cohen will forgive me for quick and dirty overview
[12:32] {dino} get "millionaire traders", hits close to home on a couple of those traders
[12:32] {Threei} I can't read trading books anymore dino
[12:33] {dino} i understand, screws you up
[12:33] {Threei} mental block I guess, for the last 3 years at least
[12:33] {Threei} probably more
[12:33] {dino} first half of way of the turtles was pretty good too
[12:34] {Threei} Stephen King is fine with me
[12:35] {dino} lol
[12:35] {dino} best part of "trading in the zone" for me was; "anything can happen"
[12:35] {Threei} that one is very good
[12:36] {Threei} Zen in the market is very short and good
[12:37] {dino} rimm hod
[12:41] {Threei} scalped of 112
[12:42] {dino} was thinking of it, but chickened out
[12:45] {Threei} +81 NQ
[12:46] {Threei} a bit unreal
[12:48] {Threei} this second time I chickened out
[12:48] {Threei} so you must have gottent it
[12:49] {dino} no. pretty much done for the day
[12:49] {dino} gj tho
[12:50] {dino} will look at it tomorrow
